BACKGROUND

Semiconductor devices are used in a variety of electronic applications, such as personal computers, cell phones, digital cameras, and other electronic equipment. Semiconductor devices are typically fabricated by sequentially depositing insulating or dielectric layers, conductive layers, and semiconductor layers of material over a semiconductor substrate, and patterning the various material layers using lithography to form circuit components and elements thereon. Many integrated circuits are typically manufactured on a single semiconductor wafer. The dies of the wafer may be processed and packaged at the wafer level, and various technologies have been developed for wafer level packaging.

FIG. 1 to FIG. 11 illustrate a process flow for fabricating an integrated fan-out package in accordance with some embodiments. In some embodiments, the integrated circuit package 100 is an integrated fan-out (InFO) package. The method for fabricating an integrated circuit package 100 may include the following steps. Referring to FIG. 1, a wafer 110 a including a plurality of semiconductor die 110 arranged in an array is provided. Before a wafer dicing process is performed on the wafer 110 a, semiconductor die 110 of the wafer 110 a are connected one another. In some embodiments, the wafer 110 a includes a semiconductor substrate 111, plurality of conductive pads 112 and a passivation layer 116. The conductive pads 112 are formed on an active surface 114 of the semiconductor substrate 111. The passivation layer 116 is formed on the wafer 110 a. In some embodiments, the passivation layer 116 is formed on the active surface 114 and includes a plurality of first openings 116 a corresponding to the conductive pads 112 respectively. In one embodiment, the first openings 116 a are located on the conductive pads 112 and the passivation layer 116 partially covers the conductive pads 112. In other words, the conductive pads 112 are partially exposed by the first openings 116 a of the passivation layer 116. For example, the semiconductor substrate 111 of the wafer 110 a may be a silicon substrate, which includes active components (e.g., transistors or the like) and/or passive components (e.g., resistors, capacitors, inductors or the like) formed therein. The conductive pads 120 may be aluminum pads, copper pads or other suitable metal pads. The passivation layer 116 may be a silicon oxide layer, a silicon nitride layer, a silicon oxy-nitride layer or a dielectric layer foamed by other suitable dielectric materials. In one embodiment, the passivation layer 116 is a single-layered passivation layer 116 and may be directly in contact with the active surface 114. With this arrangement, multiple layers of the passivation layers on the semiconductor die 110 may be omitted so as to reduce the production cost of the integrated circuit package.

Referring to FIG. 2, a patterned photoresist layer PR is formed on the passivation layer 116. The patterned photoresist layer PR includes a plurality of first pattern openings OP1 and a second pattern opening OP2. The first pattern openings OP1 reveals the first openings 116 a of the passivation layer 116 and the conductive pads 112 underneath the first openings 116 a. The second pattern opening OP2 reveals the passivation layer 116. Then, a plurality of conductive vias 120 are formed in the first pattern openings OP1 and at least one alignment mark 130 is formed in the second pattern opening OP2. Accordingly, the conductive vias 120 may be in direct contact with the conductive pads 112 respectively, and the alignment mark 130 may be in direct contact with the passivation layer 116. In some embodiments, the alignment mark 130 is spaced apart from the conductive vias 120. Accordingly, a gap G1 exists between the alignment mark 130 and the conductive vias 120. In other words, the alignment mark 130 maintains a distance from the first openings 116 a. In addition, another gap exists between the alignment mark 130 and the conductive pads 112. In some embodiments, the passivation layer 116 may be partially covered by the conductive vias 120, and the alignment mark 130 is separated from the active surface 114 by the passivation layer 116.

In some embodiments, the conductive vias 120 are formed on the conductive pads 112 through plating. For example, before the patterned photoresist layer PR is formed, a seed layer may be firstly sputtered onto the passivation layer 116 and the conductive pads 112 exposed by the passivation layer 116. Then, the patterned photoresist layer PR including the first pattern openings OP1 and the second pattern opening OP2 is then formed over the seed layer by photolithography. The wafer 110 a with the patterned photoresist layer PR formed thereon is then immersed into a plating solution such that the conductive vias 120 and the alignment mark 130 are plated on the seed layer that is corresponding in position to the first pattern openings OP1 and the second pattern opening OP2.

Referring to FIG. 3, after the conductive vias 120 and the alignment mark 130 are formed, the patterned photoresist layer PR is removed. Thereafter, by using the conductive vias 120 and the alignment mark 130 as a hard mask, portions of the seed layer that are not covered by the conductive vias 120 and the alignment mark 130 are removed by etching process, for example, until the passivation layer 116 is revealed. In some embodiments, the conductive vias 120 are copper vias or other metallic vias.

FIG. 13 is a schematic view illustrating an integrated circuit component in accordance with some embodiments. Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 13, in some embodiments, the conductive vias 120 and the alignment mark 130 are fabricated by the same process (e.g., a plating process). In such embodiments, the material of the conductive vias 120 is substantially the same with that of the alignment mark 130. In some embodiments, the alignment mark 130 may be a triangular alignment mark 130 a, a rectangular alignment mark 130 b, a L-shaped alignment mark 130 c, a cross-shaped alignment mark 130 d, or an alignment mark with other suitable shapes. In other words, a top view of the alignment mark 130 may be in triangle shape, rectangle shape, cross shape or L shape. The shape and number of the alignment mark 130 are not limited thereto according to the present disclosure. In some embodiments, the integrated circuit component 115 may include more than one alignment marks 130, and the shapes of the alignment marks 130 may be the same or different from one another.

Then, referring to both FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, a back side grinding process may be performed on a rear surface of semiconductor substrate 111 after the conductive vias 120 and the alignment mark 130 are formed. The semiconductor substrate 111 is grinded such that a thinned wafer including a thinned semiconductor substrate 111′, the conductive pads 112, the passivation layer 116, the conductive vias 120, and the alignment mark 130 is formed.

Then, after performing the back side grinding process, a wafer dicing process is performed to dice the thinned wafer into a plurality of integrated circuit components 115 as shown in FIG. 3. Each of the integrated circuit components 115 includes the semiconductor die 110′, the conductive vias 120 and the alignment mark 130, wherein the conductive vias 120 contact the conductive pads 112 of the semiconductor die 110′ respectively and are spaced apart from the alignment mark 130. The materials and properties of the semiconductor die 110′ including the semiconductor substrate 111′ and the passivation layer 116′ are similar with those of the semiconductor substrate 111 and the passivation layer 116 as shown in FIG. 1. Thus, the detailed descriptions of the semiconductor substrate 111′ and the passivation layer 116′ are omitted herein for the sake of brevity.

Referring to FIG. 4, a carrier 10 having a de-bonding layer 12 and an insulating layer 170 formed thereon is provided, wherein the de-bonding layer 12 is disposed between the carrier 10 and the insulating layer 170. In some embodiments, the carrier 10 may be a glass substrate, the de-bonding layer 12 may be a light to heat conversion (LTHC) release layer formed on the glass substrate, and the insulating layer 170 may be a polybenzoxazole (PBO) layer formed on the de-bonding layer 12, for example. It is noted that, in some embodiments, the insulating layer 170 may be omitted. In other words, the formation of the insulating layer 170 is optional in some alternative embodiments. It may also be noted that materials for the carrier 10, the de-bonding layer 12, and the insulating layer 170 are not limited to what are disclosed herein according to the present disclosure.

After the carrier 10 having the de-bonding layer 12 formed thereon is provided, a plurality of conductive pillars 160 are formed on the carrier 10. In some embodiments, the conductive pillars 160 are formed over the carrier 10 (e.g. on the insulating layer 170 or on the de-bonding layer 12 if the insulating layer 170 is omitted) by photolithography, plating, and photoresist stripping process. In some alternative embodiments, the conductive pillars 160 may be pre-fabricated through other processes and are mounted over the carrier 10. For example, the conductive pillars 160 include copper posts or other metallic posts.

Then, in some embodiments, one of the integrated circuit components 115 including the conductive vias 120 and the alignments mark 130 as shown in FIG. 3 may be picked-up and placed on the carrier 10. The integrated circuit component 115 may be attached or adhered on the carrier 10 through a die attach film 172, an adhesion paste or the like. In some alternative embodiments, more than one of the integrated circuit components 115 may be picked-up and placed on the carrier 10 and the integrated circuit components 115 which are removably bonded to the carrier 10 may be arranged in an array. When the integrated circuit components 115 placed on the carrier 10 are arranged in an array, the conductive pillars 160 may be divided into groups corresponding to the number of the integrated circuit components 115. For the sake of clarity and brevity, one integrated circuit component 115 is depicted in the disclosure, but the number of the integrated circuit components 115 is not limited thereto.

In some embodiments, the integrated circuit component 115 may have a thickness less than a height of the conductive pillars 160. However, the disclosure is not limited thereto. In some alternative embodiments, the thickness of the integrated circuit component 115 may be greater than or substantially equal to the height of the conductive pillars 160.

As shown in FIG. 4, one or more of the integrated circuit components 115 may be picked-up and placed on the carrier 10 after the formation of the conductive pillars 160. However, the disclosure is not limited thereto. In some alternative embodiments, one or more of the integrated circuit components 115 may be picked-up and placed on carrier 10 before the forrmulation of the conductive pillars 160.

Referring to FIG. 5, an insulating encapsulation 140 a is formed over the carrier 10 (e.g., on the insulating layer 170 or on the de-bonding layer 12 if the insulating layer 170 is omitted) to encapsulate the integrated circuit component 115 including the semiconductor die 110′. The insulating encapsulation 140 a encapsulates and is in contact with side surfaces of the conductive vias 120 and the alignment mark 130. The insulating encapsulation 140 a fills the gap between the conductive vias 120 and the alignment mark 130 and the gap between the conductive pads 112 and the alignment mark 130. In addition, the insulating encapsulation 140 a fills the gap between the conductive vias 120, and the gap between the conductive pillars 160. In some embodiments, the insulating encapsulation 140 a is a single-layered insulating encapsulation, which may include a molding compound formed by a molding process. The material of the insulating encapsulation 140 a may include epoxy or other suitable resins. For example, the insulating encapsulation 140 a may be epoxy resin containing chemical filler.

Referring to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the insulating encapsulation 140 a, as well as the conductive pillars 160 in some embodiments, is ground until the top surfaces of the conductive vias 120 and the alignment mark 130 are revealed. After the insulating encapsulation 140 a is ground, an insulating encapsulation 140 as shown in FIG. 6 is formed. A ground surface of the insulating encapsulation 140 is substantially coplanar with the top surfaces of the conductive vias 120 and the alignment mark 130. In some embodiments, during the grinding process of the insulating encapsulation 140 a, top portions of the conductive pillars 160, the conductive vias 120 and the alignment mark 130 may also be ground. In such embodiments, the ground surface of the insulating encapsulation 140 is substantially coplanar with ground top surfaces of the conductive pillars 160, ground top surfaces of the conductive vias 120 and a ground top surface of the alignment mark 130. The insulating encapsulation 140 may be formed by mechanical grinding or chemical mechanical polishing (CMP), for example.

The insulating encapsulation 140 fills between the conductive vias 120 and the alignment mark 130, and is in contact with the side surfaces of the conductive vias 120 and the alignment mark 130. In other words, the integrated circuit component 115 and the conductive pillars 160 are mostly embedded in the insulating encapsulation 140 with merely the top surfaces thereof being revealed. The materials and properties of the insulating encapsulation 140 are similar with those of the insulating encapsulation 140 a as shown in FIG. 5. Thus, the detailed descriptions of the insulating encapsulation 140 are omitted herein for the sake of brevity.

In some embodiments, a plurality of grinding marks (not shown) resulted from the grinding process may be generated and distributed on the top surfaces of the conductive vias 120. Furthermore, the above-mentioned grinding marks are not only found on the top surfaces of the conductive vias 120, but also found on the top surface of the alignment mark 130, the top surfaces of the conductive pillars 160, and the ground surface of the insulating encapsulation 140. In some embodiments, the rough grinded surface of the alignment mark 130 are recognizable and feasible in an infrared (IR) alignment process because the IR alignment process is less sensitive to roughness of the grinded surfaces of the alignment mark 130.

Referring to FIG. 7, after the insulating encapsulation 140 is formed and ground, a redistribution layer 150 is formed on the insulating encapsulation 140 and the integrated circuit component 115 including the semiconductor die 110′. In some embodiments, the fabrication process of the redistribution layer 150 may include the following steps. For example, a redistribution circuit layer 152 is formed on the ground surface of the insulating encapsulation 140, and a dielectric layer 154 is then formed on the ground surface of the insulating encapsulation 140 and the redistribution circuit layer 150.

In some embodiments, the redistribution circuit layer 152 connects the ground surface of the insulating encapsulation 140, the top surfaces of the conductive vias 120, the alignment mark 130 and the conductive pillars 160. The redistribution circuit layer 152 is fabricated to electrically connect with one or more connectors underneath. Here, the afore-said connectors may be the conductive vias 120 and/or the conductive pillars 160. In some embodiments, the alignment mark may be electrically connected to the conductive vias 120 through the redistribution circuit layer 152 as it is shown in FIG. 7. In other embodiments, the alignment mark 130 may be electrically insulated from the conductive vias 120. In other words, the alignment marks 130 may or may not be in contact with the redistribution circuit layer 152. The redistribution circuit layer 152 may include a plurality of ball pads for mounting of conductive balls and at least one connection pad for mounting of passive components. The dielectric layer 154 includes a plurality of second openings 154 a located on the redistribution circuit layer 152 for revealing the ball pads and the connection pad of the redistribution circuit layer 152. With the arrangement of the redistribution circuit layer 152 directly connecting the conductive vias 120, the alignment mark 130 and the conductive pillars 160, the bottommost dielectric layer of the redistribution layer 150 may be omitted to further reduce the production cost.

In some embodiments, the redistribution layer 150 may further include a plurality of dielectric layers and a plurality of redistribution circuit layers stacked alternately. In some embodiments, the top surfaces of the conductive vias 120, the alignment mark 130 and the conductive pillars 160 may be in contact with the bottommost one of the redistribution circuit layers. The top surfaces of the conductive vias 120, the alignment mark 130 and the conductive pillars 160 are partially covered by the bottommost dielectric layers.

Referring to FIG. 8, after the redistribution layer 150 is formed, a plurality of conductive balls 180 are formed in the second openings 154 a. The conductive balls 180 are in contact with the redistribution circuit layer 152 through the second openings 154 a. In some embodiments, the conductive balls 180 fill the second openings 154 a. In other words, the conductive balls 180 are directly mounting on the pads of the redistribution circuit layer 152 through the second openings 154 a. Namely, with the arrangement, a plurality of under-ball metallurgy (UBM) patterns for ball mount may be omitted to further reduce the production cost. In some embodiments, the conductive balls 180 may be placed on pads of the redistribution circuit layer 152 through ball placement process and at least one passive component may be mounted on the connection pads of the redistribution circuit layer 152 through soldering process.

Referring to FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, after the redistribution layer 150, the conductive balls 180 and/or the passive component are formed, the de-bonding layer 12 is de-bonded from the insulating layer 170 (if any), the insulating encapsulation 140 and the integrated circuit component 115 carried by the carrier 10 to form the structure shown in FIG. 9. In embodiments of the de-bonding layer 12 being the LTHC release layer, an UV laser irradiation process may be performed on the de-bonding layer 12 to facilitate peeling of the de-bonding layer 12 and the carrier 10.

Referring to FIG. 10, in some embodiments, the insulating layer 170 may be further patterned so as to form the insulating layer 170 a including a plurality of contact openings 172. The contact openings 172 correspond to the conductive pillars 160 to reveal bottom surfaces of the conductive pillars 160. The number of the contact openings 172 may correspond to the number of the conductive pillars 160. In some embodiments, the contact openings 172 in the insulating layer 170 may be formed by laser drilling process, photolithography process or other suitable processes.

Referring to FIG. 11, after the contact openings 172 are formed in the insulating layer 170, a plurality of conductive balls 190 are formed on the bottom surfaces of the conductive pillars 160 through the contact openings 172. In addition, the conductive balls 190 may be, for example, reflowed to bond with the bottom surfaces of the conductive pillars 160. After the conductive balls 190 are formed, the formation of an integrated circuit package 100, e.g. integrated fan-out (InFO) package, of the integrated circuit component 115 having dual-side terminals is accomplished. At this point, the fabrication process of the integrated circuit package 100 may be substantially done.

FIG. 11A illustrates a cross sectional view of an integrated circuit package in accordance with some embodiments. Referring to FIG. 11A, in some alternative embodiments, the carrier 10 may not include the insulating layer 170 formed thereon. In such embodiment, during the de-bonding process, the de-bonding layer 12 is de-bonded from the insulating encapsulation 140 and the integrated circuit component 115 carried by the carrier 10. Accordingly, a bottom surface of the insulating encapsulation 140, a bottom surface of the integrated circuit component 115 (with the die attach film) and bottom surfaces of the conductive pillars 116 are revealed. Then, a plurality of conductive balls 190 are directly formed on the bottom surfaces of the conductive pillars 160 without the insulating layer 170 surrounding the conductive balls 190. In addition, the conductive balls 190 may be, for example, reflowed to bond with the bottom surfaces of the conductive pillars 160. After the conductive balls 190 are formed, the formation of an integrated circuit package 100′, e.g. integrated fan-out (InFO) package, of the integrated circuit component 115 having dual-side terminals is accomplished.

FIG. 12 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a package-on-package (POP) structure in accordance with some embodiments. Referring to FIG. 12, another package 200 may be provided. In some embodiments, the package 200 provided is, for example, a memory device, etc. The package 200 may be stacked over and electrically connected to the integrated circuit package 100 illustrated in FIG. 11 or the integrated circuit package 100′ illustrated in FIG. 11A through the conductive balls 190, such that a package-on-package (POP) structure 300 is fabricated.

Other features and processes may also be included. For example, testing structures may be included to aid in the verification testing of the 3D packaging or 3DIC devices. The testing structures may include, for example, test pads formed in a redistribution layer or on a substrate that allows the testing of the 3D packaging or 3DIC, the use of probes and/or probe cards, and the like. The verification testing may be performed on intermediate structures as well as the final structure. Additionally, the structures and methods disclosed herein may be used in conjunction with testing methodologies that incorporate intermediate verification of known good dies to increase the yield and decrease costs.
